Right now, extremely dangerous and well-funded cybercrime rings in China, Russia and the Czechoslovakia are using sophisticated software systems to hack into thousands of small businesses to steal information, encrypt it using Ransomware, and swindle money directly out of your bank account. Some are even being funded by their own government to attack small, virtually defenseless businesses.
Don’t think you’re in danger because you’re “small” and not a big target like a Target or Home Depot?
Think again. 82,000 NEW malware threats are being released every single day and HALF of the cyber-attacks occurring are aimed at small businesses; you just don’t hear about it because it’s kept quiet for fear of attracting bad PR, lawsuits and data-breach fines, and out of sheer embarrassment. In 2021 according to Forbes, 43% of all data breaches involve small and medium-sized businesses. If you're still in denial about the chances of your small business becoming a victim, 61% of all SMBs have reported at least one cyber attack during the previous year and that number is growing rapidly as more businesses utilize cloud computing and mobile devices, and store more information online.
Quite simply, most small businesses are low-hanging fruit to hackers due to their lack of adequate security systems. In 2021 82% of all attacks had a human element involved in the data breach due to employee lack of training / awareness or malicious actions by current or former employees.
